Change can be good especially when it brings new and… Continue reading Still Blooming with Happiness
There are lots of quotes about flowers and happiness, but I think this is my favorite — Happiness blooms where seeds of joy and love are planted. In terms of real flowers bringing joy....I’d have to plant some seeds, but I am not a good gardener, so this pretty paper from Stampin’ Up! called Happiness Blooms is… Continue reading Happiness Blooms

When you’ve used up just about all of your Designer Series Paper...what do you do with the little pieces? What about all those little pieces of leftover ribbon? Or left over cardstock?
